My dad's a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so these 'baked' potatoes wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with brown sugar and pepper really make his day!

Ingredients

4 baking potatoes, scrubbed
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
12 slices bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Make 4 cuts into each potato without going all of the way through so that each potato has been cut into 5 thick slices. Place potatoes onto squares of aluminum foil. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt inside each potato, then wrap with 3 slices of bacon and secure with toothpicks if needed. Brush the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with brown sugar and black pepper. Wrap the potatoes loosely in the aluminum foil.
Grill potatoes until the bacon has crisped, and the potato is soft in the center, about 45 minutes depending on grill temperature.
